Pte. Peter Leslie McAnulty
Australian Imperial Forces C Coy 23rd Battalion
from:Bendigo, Victoria
My grandfather, Les McAnulty, spent time at the Melksham Red Cross Hospital in England. The photo is a staged photo with a painted backdrop and artificial grass on the ground. It is a common style of photo taken of wounded soldiers at a number of hospitals in England during WW1. These were then sent home to their families in Australia. Even the clothing was of a uniform style and was known as convalescent clothes. Les is seated, the other man is unknown. It would be good if someone was able to identify this man.
Les earned the 1914/15 Star, BWM, VM, ANZAC Commemorative Medal.
